Morning elicits cold arithmetics
Shuttle writes across the spin
Selvish holds like mild acrylic
Tension lines where threats begin
Frost that sure keeps the tolls
Quiet loom repeats the proof
Pattern grows from thin ship models Warmth arrives without a roof
Count the pixels of the spaces Beat the line but do not bruise
Web negotiates its places Edges promise not to lose
Frost that sure
keeps the tolls
Quiet loom repeats the proof
Pattern grows from thin
ship models
Warmth arrives without a roof
Lift
and lower treadles answer
Pins predict the final cut
Scissors rest beside the lancers
Pins return to little cups
Fold the cloth and breathe,
it's quiet
Stacked in pairs for later hands Ink records a tidy diet
Work concludes as planned
